BRUSH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led November 14, 198.

Patented Aug. 10, 1909.

Serial No. 462,585.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUELA. VER BRYCK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Belleville, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Brush, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. p

This invention relates to brushes for'painting and like purposes, and more particularly to a brush having a head, bristles arranged about the head, and a ferrule encompassing the bristles and the head, and consisting of two parts adapted to be forced together under pressure, whereby the ferrule is compressed about the head and has a corrugated edge partly embedded in the head by pressure so that it is securely attached to the head, the parts of the ferrule being arranged.v

to telescope and having guards which, when the ferrule is being compressed, serve to hold the bristles in place.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and exceedingly durable brush such as a paintbrush or the like,.in which the bristles are securely attached to the head of the brush, in which the ferrule holding the bristles irf position lis compressed and artly embedded in the head to hold it m p ace, in whichV a comparatively smally head can be em loyed for holding a largeA quantity of brist es, and in which the necessity of extensively nailing or otherwise securing the ferrule to the head is obviated.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts to be more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompany-` ing drawings forming a part of this speciiication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in whichi Figure 1 is a side elevation of an embodiment of my invention showing parts broken away and parts in cross section; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on the line 2-2of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the ferrule or bristle-securing band of the brush showing 'the parts of the ferrule separated.

Before proceedingvto a more detailed.' explanation of my invention, it should be clearly understood that while the same is particularly useful as an improvement in flat hea ltelescopically with respect to each other. `By employing a ferrule which is compressed about the head and the bristles it is possible not only to secure the bristles more firmly in place, but to cause the ferrule itself to attach to the Ahead by forcing corrugated edges or' the like of the ferrule into the wood or similar material from which the head is fashioned, y thereby obviating the employment of a large jnumber of nails or the like for fastening the ferrule in place. Needless to say, a brush of any description in which the bristles are so loosely secured that they are a t to become dislodged, is practically worthll invention presents obvious advantages in that it'insures the firm attachment of the ess and my bristles tothe head of the brush. 'l prefer lto employ a ferrule which has a substantial `thickness so that it can properly withstand the ressure used-in mounting it upon the di.) rlhe ferrule can be fashioned from heavy stamped metal or even,if so desired, from cast metal.

Certain of the details of construction `shown for example herewith, form no part of the invention and can be varied without departing from the underlying spirit of the invention, which consists in the provision of the ferrule or band having a male and female member arranged to telescope and to be compressed about the head, so that parts of the band areforced into the head to hold it in piace, one of the band members having guards along which the other band member slides during compression, to hold the bristles of the brush in place.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, .l provide a head '10 fashioned from wood or other material adapted for the purose and of any suitable form. In the type illustrated, the head is that of the ordinary flat paint brush and it has a constricted lower part 11, and a handle 13 by means of which the brush can be manipulated.l The bristles 14 are arranged about the constricted-part 11, `having theirupper ends abutting against The ferrule or band 16 comprises a female member 17 curved in conformity to the shape of the head and forming, with the male memberV 18 a substantially oval ferrule, conforming to the shape of the head. The members 17 and 18 are provided with outwardly concave offsets or corrugations 19 at the upper edges. Near the lower edges, but separated therefrom, the members have further similar corrugations 20.

The female member 17, at the ends has gu-ards 21 arranged at the inside thereof and projecting beyond the ends. The guards may be fashioned in any suitable manner. Each guard has a corrugation 22 corresponding to the corrugation 19 of the member 17, and has the upper edges outwardly bent upon itself to form an undercut flange 23 arranged to receive the corrugation 19 of the male member 18 and overlapping the corrugation 22.

In fashioning the brush according to my invention, the bristles are assembled upon the head and are lglued or otherwise attached thereto, to assist in securing them in lace. rPhe ferrule is then placed about the head, the male and female members being arranged to telescope and the brush is then inserted in a suitable machine by means of which the arts of the brush are forced together un er pressure. It will be understood that the male member slides along the guards 21, the corrugation 19 moving under the flange 23, and in engagement with the corrugati'on 22 until the ends ofthe band members are in juxtaposition. The pressure brought to bear upon the ferrule members forces them firmly against the bristles and at the same time drives the corrugations 19 into the wood or other material of the head. Each band member, near the ends has openings 24 therethrough to ermit nails 25 or the like to be driven into tie head to assist in holding the telescoped parts in place.

The corrugations 20 are arranged to receive the outwardly disposed lower edges 21a of the guards 21 and thus also act as guides in telescoping the parts.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A brush, comprising a head, bristles mounted upon said head, and a ferrule consisting of separable parts and encompassing said head and said bristles, said ferrule being compressed about said head and having corrugations engaging the same and adapted to be partly embedded in said head, one of said parts having guards constituting guides for the other of said parts.

2. A brush, comprising a head, bristles arranged about said head, and a ferrule encompassing said bristles and said head and consisting of al plurality of parts adapted to be forced together, whereby said ferrule is compressed about said head, said parts having guards constituting guides when said ferrule is being compressed.

3. A brush, con'xprising ahead, bristles arranged aiout said head, and a ferrule encompassing said 1bristles and said head and engaging both of the same, said ferrule comprising telescopic members arranged to be forced together under pressure, one of said members having projecting guards guidingly holding` the other of said members.

1l. A brush comprising ahead, bristles arranged alxout said head, and a ferrule encompassing said bristles and said head, said ferrule consisting of telescopic men'ibers guidingly engaging each other and having offset edges adapted to be forced into said head, one of said members having guards guidingly receiving the other of said members when said members are being telescoped.
